Though I don?t think the roads in HK can in any way be compared to the frost damaged roads in northern Sweden.

Hi !
Is there any difference between runflats and non runflats regarding comfort and ride ?
I really would love 19" wheels but I?m afraid that the ride will be to harsh compared to 18".
What are your thoughts regarding comfort ?
Were I live the roads have poor quality. Lots of potholes, cavities and cracks.
So the rational thing to do is to go for 18". But who wants to be rational

So the conclusion is that the stock 18" RF:s aren?t as good as can be expected.
Strange,
concidering BMW has choosen them for all their vehicles.
You have almost got me convinced buying 19"

So in my opinion - go for the 19 inchers and enjoy an improvement in ride comfort
